Hi,
Sorry I see you are using Flash not Flex, I gotta stop doing that.
If you are using Flash, just changing the rotation should work
straight away - you will see it on screen - don't worry about validateNow()
(If you are using Flex and change properties of a UIComponent, you
may need to call validateNow on that component before it updates the
display, hence other properties.)
To be honest, Pythagoras is easier and more robust than this and if
you are programming graphics, it should be in your arsenal - see the
other guys' reply for a solution, but have a go at working it out first
if you can.

Yeah i know what the rotastion is, but am not sure what to do with regards to
pythagoras and working out the hypotenuse.
Can you point me to any examples of how to use validateNow() as ive looked
through Flash Help/Livedocs and cant seam to figure out how its used!

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] { AS3 } Reading position info X, Y, H & W
Do you know the rotation?
2 ways to do this:
Either rotate the image back to 0 if it can be done - if you do this you
will need to call validateNow() on the instance after changing values,
read the new w2, etc. then rotate it back...
Or do some pythagoras
w2 is the hypotenuse of one triangle.
h2 is the hyp of another...
You can work the rest out :)

Now i know some of you are going to jump streight in with answeres like...
instanceName.y, instanceName.x etc... but i would like you to take a look at the
following link first, you will see a number of lines drawn to explanin the valuse i am
after!
